Here is the Chrome Gas Door for H3 - Don't be Fooled

[H3Lady]

I say that because a friend got a door from a dealer that was a retro-fitted H2 door. It was sloppy too.

Anyway here is the new door, notice that the outer bezel matches the texture of all the other plastic trim and bumpers on the H3.

I would say, if you are unsure of templates and drilling, have the dealer do it. If you read the directions and take it slowly and check twice drill once, you can do it.

ALSO A NOTE: ONCE YOU PUSH THE UNIT ON, YOU CANNOT REMOVE WITHOUT CAUSING DAMAGE. THE PUSH PINS ARE A ONE TIME DEAL.

Good luck

Great pic and advice, thank you H3Lady. This is appearing black in the pic, must be the light reflecting?

[H3Lady]

Just a reflection, it is bright chrome and boy does it look good. I have the locking cap too inside.

it will keep out the elements and keep this area clean.

hey, if you had the dollars you could have the door power coated or black chromed. It does seperate from the bezel easy BEFORE INSTALLATION

Very nice. How much $$?

I was kinda hoping it was black. I want to do all black accessories on my Slate Blue ride.

H3Lady,

Thanks for the update! I thought you said in another post the door doesn't come with the lock? Are the substituting the door lock with the cap lock, or did you get one from somewhere else?

I love the look of it and will be getting it soon. I just need more ammunition when I go in and make sure I get all the parts for it (ie the locking cap and the door!)

Looks great! Thank you for sharing!

[H3Lady]

bought it seperate.

Hello H3Lady,
Does it attach with 2 screws??? Parts manager was mentioning it...I was just curious??? He said something about 2 screws and tape. The fit looks good.. I really like it..

[H3Lady]

Here goes

You pry/remove the original gas well with a plastic putty knife. It just snaps in.

You get a template and drill 5 hole around the edge. You get 5 speed nuts that go in the holes and stop.
There are 4 plastic fingers and 1 metal guide stud.
You light put the unit with the outer bezel on, until it stop. Open the door and from the inside there are 5 holes in the side, use a "L" shape allen wrench and hold each speed nut and put till it snaps to all five. You will know it's seated when the rubber washer around the bezel is flat..easy

I asked them how much it would cost to install one just to get an idea on cost. He told me that it would cost approx. $18.00 for the dealer to install it. </span>

[H3Lady]

For 18.00 do it. If he goofes, it's a new fender or cap he will need.

it only take 15 minutes to do...really

if you push it on crooked, you can't remove it. it will break the pins....

[BeerDog]

Thanks for the instructions... Doesn't sound at all like what the parts manager described.. It sounds like a real solid fit.. This will definately be my next purchase....

[Georgemarc]

Heres the cap on the Boulder Grey, definitely worth the expense

[H3OH]

I talked with my parts manager today and he quoted me $189 installed. Now before we get all crazy here, I did confirm that this comes with a locking cap. Lucky me.

[Georgemarc]

Yes, go for it and lets see after install

[H3Lady]

Some dealers are make their own packages with the locking cap.

The 189.00 with cap install is a super price.
